Thursday, July 24th, 2008After one national title, two straight years in BCS bowls, and three 11-2 finishes in a row, it’ll be tough for LSU to repeat the level of success they’ve had over the last few years. What’ll make matters difficult is losing 10 starters on both sides of the ball, including QB Matt Flynn, RB [...]
ACC Preview: Wake Forest Demon Deacons
Thursday, July 24th, 2008Despite leading the ACC in passing efficiency as a freshman, and leading the nation in completion percentage as a sophomore, Riley Skinner is probably not the type of quarterback you want on your fantasy team. The reason is of course: touchdowns. Skinner has thrown only 21 in two seasons. He will also be missing his [...]
MAC West Preview
Thursday, July 24th, 2008EASTERN MICHIGAN EAGLES
Coach: Jeff Genyk, 5th year (13-33)
2007 Record (MAC): 4-8 (3-4)
QB Andy Schmitt is one of the best-kept secrets in the MAC, ranking 6th in the league in passing efficiency last season. When fully healthy, Schmitt also provides ‘dual-treat’ abilities as he was the only MAC QB to lead his team in rushing during the [...]
ACC Preview: North Carolina State Wolfpack
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008The same comments used about the Maryland quarterbacks holds true here as well. Daniel Evans and Harrison Beck have not distinguished themselves as average players in their careers at NC State. The only quarterback to even take a flier on would be Mike Glennon, one of the top quarterback recruits in the nation.
Big 12 Preview: Nebraska Cornhuskers
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008Former DC Bo Pelini is the new head coach after forging some pretty impressive LSU Tiger and Husker defenses over the last few years and he brings in brother Carl Pelini as his own defensive coordinator. Carl spent the last few seasons with Frank Solich, the former Nebraska coach, at Ohio University, going with the [...]
MAC Preview: Central Michigan Chippewas
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008Coach: Butch Jones, 2nd season (8-6)
2007 Record (MAC): 8-6 (6-1) Lost 51-48 to Purdue in the Motor City Bowl
Dan LeFevour (left, Icon SMI) is just one of two D-IA (FBS) college QBs to ever rush for over 1,000 yards and pass for over 3,000 in one season. Perhaps that’s why the junior signal caller was voted the [...]
DeAndre Brown cleared to play for Southern Miss
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008Orlando sentinel reports (scroll past the bellyaching George O’Leary - ironic he criticizes truth in reporting) from Conference USA Media Day that all-everything freshman WR DeAndre Brown made it through the NCAA Clearinghouse and can begin practices with the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles. This news truly upgrades the entire offense under new Head Coach Larry [...]
MAC Preview: Ball State Cardinals
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008Coach: Brady Hoke, 6th year (22-37)
2007 Record (MAC): 7-6 (5-2) Lost 52-30 to Rutgers in the International Bowl
Ball State ranked in the top 35 nationally in 2007 in five different categories; turnover margin (4th), passing offense (22nd), passing efficiency (24th), net punting (29th) and total offense (31st). The Ball State trigger-man of that potent offense is Nate [...]
